Re: the electric ones

It's like a 9v battery. It hurts, but I can't stop licking it anyways.

It really depends on your who your workers are, but I absolutely don't use emojies in work emails. I do use them in teams messages though.

Emails are for conversations I want documented. Chat messages are the equivalent of a desk conversation.

Also, yeah, angry emojies are still taboo at any type of work chat for me. Can't be seen as angry at the office.

Lmao. The joke of this comic is that a 'pong' comic is really inane. The ball goes back and forth, and then one of the paddles misses. The exclamation point is cute though.

Oh and also, here's a fancy that does exactly that, which I adore. https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12986683/5/

Chapter 5 is a jump cut to post using the clones to rescue anakin, but before the rest of the war. The earlier chapters are an intro on why obiwan is different enough to stop things.

If you say so. AFAIK that's legends stuff which I am not actually versed in.

The funniest part is that 'straight up lose the war' was actually a pretty solid choice for the Jedi. It'd force the republic to face the consequences of its actions with regards to the outer rim, force palpatine to stall and delay the droid army, and it would give dooku and the separatists time to get a solid outer rim government going. There's a lot of negatives too I'm sure, but at least they wouldn't be personally leading enslaved people to their deaths against a droid army.

They exist, but double check that they're actually 2tb. The listings I saw had more fakes than real ones.

They (the Jedi council) discovered that Dooku was evil after/during the time they were forced to use the clones to rescue anakin and co. So like, yeah, the group of people involved in the clone creation was sus, but at the same time they were already neck deep in a war when it all came out and they had a moment to think about things.

A better Jedi council wouldn't have accepted the positions of generals over a slave army.

A better Jedi council would've stopped at using slave soldiers to rescue a pair of Jedi and a politician.

A better Jedi council would have been suspicious of a slave army being made in their name.

A better Jedi council would have treated anakin as a person first, instead of as child soldier / prophesied savior.

The better Jedi council didn't exist. It was an indolent, slow, and prideful Jedi council, and that's why they failed. That was the whole point; to stuck up in their own assess to see what's going on right in front of them.

I think it makes for a great story, if not the one that we might've hoped for.

I mean I don't know if I even agree with that; they were suspicious of him. But being suspicious that a mercenary who now works for the enemy, was also hired by your best bro, isn't really enough to go on and say that the work of your best bro is completely untrustworthy.

Part of the genius of the clones was that, as far as the Jedi knew, one of their own had commissioned it due to his visions of the future war.

It's like, your old best bud pre-ordered specialty beer for your party but couldn't make it. So you use the beer, and then surprise! It's your highschool nemesis who bought shitty ipas and put them into fancy beer cans all along! Who could have seen this coming?

You know, I guess? Worth a shot at least.

Fwiw, the ring had an aura of evil, not just a touch-based curse of evil. Boromir was by all accounts a cool guy until being around the ring made him go temporarily fucky in the head.
